Artwork Description:
On posters in general:
At the request of Dansk Plakatmuseum (Danish Museum of Poster Art) all new posters are sent to the museum where I now have one of the largest collections.
After a French visit to Dansk Plakatmuseum's Cassandra exhibition, I received a letter from Mairie de Paris, Direction des Affaires Culturelles, Thierry Devynck:
I am deeply impressed by the quality of the works which you have created and which Peder Stougaard of Dansk Plakatmuseum in Aarhus showed me. In particular, he showed me a poster which, as far as I remember, was entitled "Landmandsliv - en kunstart" (Farmer's Life - An Art Form). The drawing is at once full of charm and permanence. Would it be possible for Bibiloteque Forney to acquire a collection which is representative of your work? I would really like to include your work in our collections, etc., etc.
A collection was subsequently sent to Paris.
This poster is part of the Forney, Paris collection.
The description is in French. If you want it in English, please feel free to e-mail me.
"FYRTJET" ET "EVENTYR I ELVERHJEN"
"FYRTJET" est le titre danois du conte d'Andersen "Le Briquet".
Adapt la scne comme les autres contes d'Andersen, ce texte fut jou pendant
l'anne du millnaire au village muse de Fionie "Den Fynske Landsby" par la
troupe H. C. Andersen.
J'ai convenu avec le directeur du syndicat d'initiative d'Odense et du metteur en
scne des pices tires des contes d'Andersen que je ferais dornavant les
affiches de ces reprsentations.
"EVENTYR I ELVERHJEN" (en franais "Conte de la colline aux Elfes") date de 1989.
